Growout

Once the fish are eating prepared foods, they are moved from the Hatchery into the larger tanks of the Grow-Out area.

The specialists who work in this area ensure the health and nutrition of these fish through a rigorous schedule that includes multiple feedings every day, regular water quality testing, and quality control. In just a few months, our fish are ready for the marketplace.

Fish that are typically “aggressive” when brought in from the wild, such as the Neon dottyback, are considerably less aggressive when raised in a captive environment.

Tank-raised fish also tend to associate people with good experiences (e.g. food!) and are therefore much less “skittish” or “bashful”.
